RE:RE:RE:RE:Craigy its time to increase the dividendYes.. yes... the market will surely pay more for shares if insiders continue to make out like bandits with the highest salaries/bonuses in the sector; the company cancels shares (only to offset what they gift to themselves); the company pays down debt (only to then go and buy something else and incur more debt); the company gives money to communities; all while shareholders have been decimated; had their dividend stolen by management and are left sitting on the sidelines. Yes surely this must be the way. NOT!
It's F'n time management starts doing something for shareholders. If management is going to give money away to communities, I certainly hope they are taking a cut to their salaries and bonuses to offset. Enough already. Time to start putting shareholders first!
